Green line, outbound:
Two girls with identical yellow t-shirts sit close together at the Park Street Station. When the D-line train arrives, one stands up, approaches the train, and boards. Only after she is on board does her travelling companion follow suit. They sit to my right.
Across from me, an attractive girl in grey sweats and a purple hoodie tries to sleep. Her hand, placed over a tattoo on her neck, keeps her head from bobbing. But her elbow keeps slipping from its place, which jolts her awake. Eventually, she gives up and rests her chin on her chest.
To her right, a man in a business suit—right down to his tattered New Balance shoes—dozes. Periodically he opens his eyes to change the song he's listening to on his iPod.
At Fenway Station, a 20-something man boards the train wearing a t-shirt which informs us that Johnny Cupcakes will never say "die". And here I thought I knew everything about Johnny Cupcakes...
Snippets like this make you wonder about the whole story. Why were those girls wearing identical shirts? Why were they yellow? Where/when/why did the 20-something man buy that t-shirt? Is it his favorite? :)
